Seeking Financial Security - Darel Rutherford

As individualizations of God, our reality will always be whatever we perceive it to be. And what we have in life must be a perfect match for that reality concept. How could it be otherwise? And yet, look what the majority of us have created for ourselves.

In America, the land of opportunity, only five out of one hundred individuals will have achieved financial security, and only one of them will have become wealthy by the time they reach sixty-five years of age.

Is this shocking news to anyone? It may even rattle a few cages, because according to those odds, the chances of 95% of Americans becoming financially independent are mighty slim. Would you like to know why?

To answer that question, I'm reminded of the story about a psychology (behavioral science) experiment.

Several caterpillars were placed on the rim of a flowerpot. In the center of the flowerpot, available at all times, was the food caterpillars love to eat. But these caterpillars never got to the food. They just followed each other round and round the pot until they died of starvation.

How does that story apply to you? You're no caterpillar, but you do follow a habitual way of thinking and being, that has you trapped in a box, a reality concept concerning money that prevents your ever having a life of abundance.

It's not your lack of money, but your perception of reality concerning money that keeps you poor!

It reminds me of a man dying of thirst while swimming in a lake of drinkable water. It's not a lack of water that has him dying of thirst, nor is it the lack of opportunity that keeps people poor.

In fact, it is a person's concept of reality that keeps them financially insecure and always in need. Even so, most people are not willing to trade in their poverty reality concept in favor of a new one.

They instead, persist in hanging on to the rim of that pot, because it's the only reality they know.

If the information in this newsletter applies to you, don't you think it is time you stopped following those other caterpillars around the rim of the flowerpot you call reality? Isn't it time you choose out of your box and into a reality of financial independence?

The way out of your box begins with a vision of what life could be like outside the box. A whole new world of abundance awaits only your choosing it. And all you have to do to live YOUR LIFE in that prosperity reality is to change your reality concept concerning money, a mere change of perception.
